Mobile Exporting and Importing Worlds

ever since android 11 there wasnt an easy way to import and export worlds since they made a chance where you aren't allowed to modify files inside the android folder

so if you create a world its sorta stuck there unless youre able to root your phone

you can't even copy/paste worlds directly inside it from PC through USB debugging

is there a way you guys can implement some sort of way to make worlds easily imported/exported just by accessing through it in game or something?
 
Even on android 11+, although you can't edit files in the android/data folder, you can move them to another folder and edit them from there.
I've got Android 12, and I always do this.


P.S. If for some reason you can't move them, deleting Google Play services will remove the protection from the Android folder, but it's obviously not the best option.

I tried it but whenever I moved the world file back into the android folder the world gets corrupted (android 13)

I often move my world to my PC back and forth whenever I want to use tedit on it or I want to get screenshots since screenshot option is also still not on mobile.

first I thought it's an issue with tedit but when I tried moving the world file again but just on a different folder, then pasting it back to the android folder

it gets corrupted , no is debugging involved, all local storage.

I opted for Android cuz of the flexibility but now it's becoming more like apple every new release,

like you can't even have access to your own files anymore

I have only ever edited characters, never worlds. Worlds are more complex, so maybe protection can corrupt them.
Here's a fun fact: if you create a new folder and call it "Android", it will also be protected.

Google is becoming so problematic that deleting Google Play Services will be not such a bad idea.

is there any downsides to deactivating Google play services? aside from being unable to open play store
 
Google antivirus won't work, encryption will be disabled and device tracking activity will be reduced, You'll need to update apps manually. Autofill may also be turned off.
